Audra looks up at the mast, trying to measure it's height. Then back up, the dragons have gone up a lot further. She curses loudly, startling a crewman as he rushes by where she stands, headed for below decks. Coming to a decision, she hops from the raised part of the deck and heads back over to where she dropped the gear upon coming up from below. She roots around until she finds an old leather sling. Searching about finds a pouch of small sling balls. With this secured, she looks up and sees the dragons even higher. She quickly shrugs her backpack on and looks up again at the dragons, plotting angles.

Audra moves back to D-16, now that Drev has moved to meet Elenka. She gathers gear and readies her sling.

Eanos sighs. "Of course they are," he mutters to himself as he moves swiftly up the dock. Carefully, he lines up his shot, judging wind and range, then lets loose his breath and bowstring at the same time.

The human servant of Issolatha smiles slightly as his shot sinks home in the closest dragon's flank.

Actions

I've not used Maptools before. Is there a way to change the name of the icon to include altitude? So instead of "White Dragon 1" it would say "WD 1 + 80'" or something? Just a thought.

Move: to O14Standard: Longbow attack vs. closest dragon. Looks like the elevation puts it at the second range increment, but even with the -2 to the attack, I think this hits:

Recoiling at the arrow burying itself in its flank, the dragon's failure to scream is likely a product of its gag alone. Instead, the creature hastens upward even further, its companion following, and although at this distance it's difficult to see what they're doing, their trajectories don't seem to suggest any intent to flee.

Eanos Setirav, human inquisitor

Eanos moves forward again, though he despairs he'll get within optimal distance until the dragons are good and ready for him. He lets loose another arrow, but the nearly-vertical nature of the shot makes it prone to a gust of wind that sends it tumbling back through the air to fall into the water.

"Got a feeling those things are going to be unmuzzled before we can bring them down. Anyone got something to cut the chill I figure they'll be raining down on us?"

Actions

Move to G15 (Drev is 15' up, yes? So Eanos can occupy the space, I believe)Standard Longbow attack. Miss:

Drevezh'korol continues to struggle to master his new wings. Powerful downstrokes propel the wood-man further upwards though he is in no way equal to the young dragons.

Elenka groans her dismay both at the situation and at Drevezh'korol's airborne awkwardness.

"It only works on Drevezh'korol and it's too late for that."

The summoner racks her brains for something useful to do to help capture the dragons. Watching Drevezh'korol struggle in the air she shakes her head and mutters a quick word. The glowing rune on her forehead vanishes and Drevezh'korol disappears from the sky.

OOC/Actions

Made an error on Drev's movement. He can't ascend straight up (well, he can but isn't likely to make the Fly check) and must climb at a 45 degree angle which would have put him at D14 instead of G15.

Eanos' arrow fails to achieve the necessary altitude to threaten its target, and one of the crewmen takes it as a sign of things to come, retreating into the presumably safe decks below. Other members of the crew begin to come to life, some scrambling for cover with others yelling to each other trying to figure out what to do. A small gnome (Captain Hwuzel) comes scrambling up on deck shouting at anyone within hearing distance to "stop standing there and do something, darnit -Captain Hwuzel will have your hide if these dragons escape!"

Audra watches the mad scramble. Luckily, with everyone heading for cover, there is room around her to start to swing. With the sling loaded, she spins it around to get speed and, aiming for one of the dragons, releases, hoping she has enough oomph to reach her target.

Action

Attacking with sling (I think she can do that now...A -2 penalty will be applied to her roll to account for the range, I count them at 85feet above the main deck, where she stands)

Fulgrim looks up in the sky, the dragons floating quite high overhead as he glances at the sling in his hand. "Dey fear me axe! Dey come down 'ere an fight fair an' they be knowin' who to be 'fraid of!"

"Bah!" Fulgrim bellows as he starts swinging his sling. He works with all his strength as he finally releases the sling stone high in the air.
